La manana, Sabado 2 mayo 2009
This morning I toured Esteli by motorcycle with my Spanish teacher. I wanted to see the poorer areas or boarrio’s of the town. We toured the entire city in a few hours looking at how the locals live and in some areas it is very poor. Homes constructed out of left over building material and metal sheeting. We essentially zoomed in and out of traffic on the main streets, no ne stops at the stop signs nor the few stop lights there are. I cannot figure out who is supposed to stop at 4 ways without signs. It seems that if you are going north-south you have the right of way band east-west must stop. A lot of telephone pools are painted black and red for the Sandinista party as Esteli is the home of the Sandinistas. We stopped at a boot maker and I ordered a pair of new hand-made cowboy boots custom measured for my feet for $1500 Córdoba’s, about $75 USD, we then headed to the only bookstore and I purchased some Nica flags, and a book on the Sandinista revelation. After that we went for some coffee and refresca.
